So sorry to hear of Lib's passing but also very comforted to know that she and Fred are together again!! I just loved them both so much and will always remember their dedication to the Town of Staley and their sincere friendship through the years. Blessed beyond belief to have known them...I can just hear her saying (as she always did at the end of each town meeting) - "Let's go home!!". Well, Lib, you're home now, tell Fred we said, "Hey"...Love You.
